Journalistic Writing on Printed and Online Press: Towards a Change of Enunciative Contract?

In order to examine journalistic writing, using enunciative studies and argumentation’s tradition of discourses analysis, we present a comparative study of papers published just after the election of the 44th President of United States, Barack Obama, on November 4th of 2008, in printed and online newspapers. We aim to see if there is a real difference of enunciative contract between printed and online press, to contribute to a current question concerning the deep changes of journalistic writing induced by new technologies. Starting with a corpus of three French daily national newspapers (Le Monde, Libération and Le Figaro), both in printed and online versions, and three online pure players (Rue89.com, LePost.fr and Mediapart.fr), we try to show that a keen observation of the journalists’ enunciative positions, towards the opinions they put in their speech, enlightens the interpretation of those contracts.In order to examine journalistic writing, using enunciative studies and argumentation’s tradition of discourses analysis, we present a comparative study of papers published just after the election of the 44th President of United States, Barack Obama, on November 4th of 2008, in printed and online newspapers.

Ida Hekmat, Raphaël Micheli, Alain Rabatel, coords, « Modes de sémiotisation et fonctions argumentatives des émotions »

La 35e livraison de la revue Semen est consacrée à l’étude du discours émotionné en lien avec la question de l’argumentativité. Elle met en valeur une partie des débats qui ont eu lieu lors des deux journées d’étude sur la question de « l’émotion argumentée », les 6 et 7 septembre 2012, à l’université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 organisées par Ida Hekmat (Interactions, corpus, apprentissages, représentations, université Lumière Lyon 2), Raphaël Micheli (université de Lausanne) et Alain Rabatel (Int..

Citato, mosaïque de la presse écrite

in MEJEAN J.-M. (dir.), « Médias en miroir », Médiamorphoses, n°20, Paris, Armand Colin / INA / Inathèque de France, pp. 41-46International audienceL’article présente le magazine d’actualité Citato qui propose une formule nouvelle de traitement de l’information. Le principe de ce « mag des journaux » est de sélectionner des extraits de discours médiatiques de presse et de les articuler au sein d’une énonciation unique. Ce magazine, né en 2004, a pour objectif de faire découvrir la presse aux jeunes. L’article décrit cette formule éditoriale originale qui cherche à attirer l’attention de jeunes lecteurs a priori plutôt familiers d’un environnement médiatique télévisuel et numérique

PROVE Endurance Car Front Suspension

This document details the collaborative Mechanical Engineering Senior Project with Cal Poly PROVE Lab on PROVE Lab’s Project 2; an electric vehicle designed to travel 1000 miles on a single charge. Logan Simon, Justine Kwan, and Lauren Williams are given the challenge of designing an innovative proof of concept front suspension suspension for this vehicle. After detailed research of new suspension systems, it was determined that the innovative nature could be in the form of unique manufacturing methods, materials use, or mechanical design. At this point in time, this vehicle is a purely conceptual design with no concrete requirements. Therefore engineering specifications were generated based on vehicles of similar size and function, such as PROVE Lab Project 1, Tesla’s Roadster, and the BMW z4. These specification included vehicle weight, speed, vertical travel, system weight, travel speed, and track width. Since this car is aimed to travel 1000 miles on one charge, efficiency is a big concern for the design. From ideation, the three suspension configurations of interest were MacPherson, double wishbone, and multi-link. A decision matrix was created to evaluate these designs based on design requirements, resulting in the selection of the multi-link configuration. However, after further investigation it was decided that a double wishbone configuration would provide nearly equal performance and be much more manageable of a task on the senior project time frame, compared to multi-link. The focus of the project then shifted to innovative manufacturing methods. Carbon fiber was chosen as the material to be used due to its lightweight nature, its accessibility through PROVE lab, and its lack of usage in a suspension system thus far. The upright would provide the most weight savings, so it was designed as a carbon fiber sandwich panel. Computer analysis of the system included SolidWorks FEA, Tsai Wu Failure Analysis, and ANSYS composite analysis to verify Tsai Wu. Four destructive tests were performed to validate the analysis and to determine the number of plies to be used for the final part. With all four tests passing the minimum load requirements with a factor of safety above 1, 16 plies per laminate was chosen and with an additional 8 plies around the edges. The final system proves that a carbon fiber suspension that is structurally sound for maximum loading cases and that cuts weight down to 4.3 pounds is possible. The full non-destructive test will be performed by the PROVE Project 2 team in the future, unassociated with this senior project

Presentation, Prognostic Factors and Patterns of Failure in Adult Rhabdomyosarcoma

Purpose: The purpose of our study is to retrospectively review our institutional experience with adult rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) to determine presentation, prognostic factors and patterns of failure in this disease

The ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 controls NK cell homeostasis through regulation of mTOR activity and TNF

The ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 is a well-known regulator of immune cell function and homeostasis. In addition, A20 protects cells from death in an ill-defined manner. While most studies focus on its role in the TNF-receptor complex, we here identify a novel component in the A20-mediated decision between life and death. Loss of A20 in NK cells led to spontaneous NK cell death and severe NK cell lymphopenia. The few remaining NK cells showed an immature, hyperactivated phenotype, hallmarked by the basal release of cytokines and cytotoxic molecules. NK-A20(-/-) cells were hypersensitive to TNF-induced cell death and could be rescued, at least partially, by a combined deficiency with TNF. Unexpectedly, rapamycin, a well-established inhibitor of mTOR, also strongly protected NK-A20(-/-) cells from death, and further studies revealed that A20 restricts mTOR activation in NK cells. This study therefore maps A20 as a crucial regulator of mTOR signaling and underscores the need for a tightly balanced mTOR pathway in NK cell homeostasis
